Most of a child's faith development happens within the day to day life of their family. We want to provide experiences and resources for families to grow together in their faith, and to use in their own home. Below you will find a few of the opportunities that happen throughout the year. For questions about our Faith Formation ministries contact the church office.
Elementary Youth Group
The Elementary Youth Group meets once a month for lunch, activities, and Faith Formation. Friends and guests are always welcome to join us.
Harrisburg Area Confirmation Camp
Once a a summer we join with other congregations from around the Synod for a week at Camp Nawakwa. Confirmation Camp is for youth 6th grade through 11th grade. We spend the week exploring scripture, the Small Catechism, worshipping, and having fun at camp. For more information check out their website at https://harrisburgconfirmationcamp.org/
Middle/High Youth Group
The Middle/High Youth group gathers at least once a month for team building, devotions, games, and faith formation activities. Guests are always welcome for these events.
Synod Youth Events
It is great for youth to experience the larger church as well as their own congregation. The youth of Trindle Spring Lutheran regularly participate in synodical events like "Winterfest" for High School youth, and "Alive" for the Middle School youth.

Winterfest 2025
From January 3-5, 2025, 8 youth, 4 adults, and one very sweet 6-month old journeyed to Lancaster to participate in Winterfest, a retreat for high school students hosted by the Lower Susquehanna Synod. This year's theme was "Fingerprints," and youth spent the weekend exploring how God has left in imprint on our lives and hearts, and the way we as disciples should strive to leave our fingerprint on the world around us. They did this through large group gatherings with speakers, breakout sessions exploring topics of interest to them, worship, and lots of fun! Enjoy some pictures and reflections from the weekend, and to read more, check out the TSLC February 2025 newsletter!

"My favorite part of Winterfest was hanging out with old friends and making new ones. I also loved getting sing some of my favorite songs and learning new ones." - Jenna Gordon "My favorite memory of Winterfest was being able to create connections with people I had never known before. I was able to grow a closer bond with people in my small group, as well as those I talked to throughout the weekend." -Colin Ingraham "For me, the most meaningful part of Winterfest is the music and how its message resonates with me." - Carly Gordon |
